Canon MX922 Printer PGBK printing double characters (replacing the print head fixed the problem)! :)
Canon PIXMA MX922 Printer
Steps I went through to discover a fix:
1) The purpose of this video is to help you fix the double characters when printing PGBK black characters on a Canon MX922 printer.
2) My printing problem started when I was printing a document, and I noticed that the black ink was getting lighter, and then I started seeing blank parts on the document where the black ink would be printed. After 1 or 2 minutes, I started getting blank pages altogether. IMPORTANT. As soon as you see the black ink printing lighter… stop printing and replace the black ink cartridge, or else you will totally damage the print head.
3) I attempted to clean the print head using a solution of 4 parts regular Windex with 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol.
a) For the first attempt, I just soaked the print head without taking it apart.
b) I then tried using air pressure to blow cleaning fluid through the holes.
c) I then took the print head apart and used air pressure to blow cleaner through all the holes.
d) Note: Using the air pressure may have damaged the PGBK black color. I do not think so, however it is possible the excessive air pressure damaged the print head.
4) After cleaning, the colors printed fine, however the PGBK black color was printing double characters, and printed wavy black lines instead of straight black lines.
5) A workaround solution for the double PGBK characters is to select “Glossy Photo Paper” in printer preferences. However, this causes the little black ink cartridge to be used instead of the PGBK ink cartridge. Note: PGBK ink is harder to smear.
6) Steps I went through to fix this problem.
a) Tried cleaning the print head (at least 5 times).
b) I have taken the printer apart several times, to try to diagnose the problem and to clean the timing strip. Important… before lifting the scanner from the top of the printer, be sure to remove the three little wires! I forgot this step, and ended up damaging the connector on the circuit board. It took several attempts, however I did manage to solder on a new connector (what a pain).
c) Thoroughly cleaned the timing strip, however there were still a few spots of black ink drops that could not be cleaned off. You can carefully clean the plastic timing strip with isopropyl alcohol, but do NOT clean the grease off the aluminum track beneath the timing strip. It is there to lubricate the aluminum track the print head glides on. Some people fixed their problem by cleaning the grease off the aluminum track, but this is a mistake.
d) Bought a used timing strip on Ebay ($9.99)(it was just as bad as mine)
e) Bought an authentic Canon PGBK XL ink cartridge for $30.36 on Amazon. (I used this up trying to fix the problem).
f) Bought a used print head on Ebay ($37)(same problem).
g) Bought a brand new timing strip from Canon parts for $1.53 + $7 (shipping)(same problem).
h) Bought a brand new print head from Canon Parts for $87.20 + $7
7) Learn from my mistakes! Buy a new timing strip ($1.57) and a new print head from Canon ($87.20) + $7 (shipping). You cannot order these parts online. However, you can easily order new parts if you call the Canon Parts Ordering Center (866)481-2569.
8) You can use the cheaper ink, however, keep the ink fresh in your printer, and make sure you do not run out of ink!

That was very helpful, thanks!
I recently replace a new fusible link, also new battery and alternator, drove it to work for a week the fusible link had burnt. What seem to be the problem
Something is arching. A hot wire is touching somewhere.
So what did you do, did you replace the whole fan assembly? I ask because mine just did the same thing, twice. After disconnecting the connector and putting it back together, fans operate as they should for a while. But after driving the car for a while they stop working. Redid the connector again and fans are back on. Should I replace them?
Just change our print head on our Mx922 for the problem of strikes in the PGBK black ink printing. The new print head solved the problem, we used a Canon print head not a generic. Most feedback on the generics were not good. Generic cost less but too many negative comments from their use.
thank you that was super helpful! and worked
Excelent video
what if a key is still not working after cleaning life this?
At this point, why not just buy a whole new printer?
You could if you want. I think I bought one of these at Costco for about $150, and it died, due to a small plastic cogwheel breaking. I then bought a used one for $175. When I started to try to fix this one, new printers and scanners were more like $250. I have not shopped for printers for 15 months now. I used to buy cheap printers for about $80, thinking the ink was worth $65. However now I know new printers do not come with full ink cartridges (at least not the ones I was buying). I took this printer apart a dozen times, and I'm amazed how many tiny parts are in them. There are many plastic little gears which will shrink and crack over time. It is your choice to fix or buy new. So far, I'm happy with my choice to fix it. 😏
@@GaryMarkowski I hear ya. Gotta be frugal! Brothers printers have been getting tons of praise. I might just buy one of their inkjets.
Bravo! Absolutely fantastic research, analysis, and troubleshooting of the problem in its entirety!! For persons like us, this study has the exact quality and depth of understanding that we hope to find each time we seek answers to specific questions, and yet rarely do. Sincere thanks for your time and energy spent documenting and sharing your findings 👌😀
and enter?:(
I appreciate displaying a hi-res close up while explaining. You would make a great teacher.
excellent video that helped a lot ! thank you ! 🙏 🌠
Good video very helpful
Thanks, my O key works again! Ooooooooooooooo!
I had the same problem. I cleaned the reader strip but it didn't work and I bought a new printer head and the problem was solved, but I took 10-15 printouts and then the old problem repeated again. I think it is caused by the device's circuit and software. never canon again
Did you buy a new print head from the Canon parts center? Did you replace any ink cartridges that are running low, so that you know they are fresh? My printer has been working fine for 4 months now. What is the problem you are experiencing?
@@GaryMarkowski I bought the original brand new same model product from amazon. The cartridges were old and not original. This problem started to occur after updating the printer (3.041) I can't try because I can't roll back the software.
@@GaryMarkowskiI plugged in the zero and the first few printouts came out fine and my problem was gone. But he repeated it, and in exactly the same way. I don't know if it is due to the equivalent cartridge, but it cannot be damaged with 5 printouts. I have used the equivalent cartridge and ink for years. It seems to me that the software was deliberately corrupted. If a capacitor or something similar was faulty in the printer's circuit, the first 5 printouts would not appear correctly when you inserted zero
@@mustafaakpinar1255 I searched high and low on the internet for a genuine Canon Print Head. I could not find one online (even through the Canon website). Unless Canon changed their distribution (and I doubt that they did), the ONLY way you can buy an authentic Canon print head is by "calling them" on the phone (and it is super easy to do so - 10 minute call). Buy a new timing strip (just in case for $1.57) and a new print head from Canon ($87.20) + $7 (shipping). You cannot order these parts online! However, you can easily order new parts if you call the Canon Parts Ordering Center (866)481-2569. Any other print heads bought online are likely fake and/or reconditioned. I suspect the print head itself has a circuit board embedded in it. The lines on this circuit board are tiny and can get fried over time (requiring a replacement print head). They last just so long. I recommend buying a brand new print head directly from Canon, by calling them directly. It is a simple call. Good luck!
@@mustafaakpinar1255 I had two versions of the Canon printer. I ended up damaging the little connectors to the circuit board on the left side of the printer/scanner. I thought I could simply swap the circuit board (from my broken printer) to the newer printer. They were very similar, but not compatible. I ended up soldering a new connector on the circuit board which was super difficult to do because the plastic of the connector melts easily as you solder the connector to the circuit board. The new connector worked. So if you end up dismantling the printer to install a new timing strip, be super careful when disconnecting the tiny wires.
Good morning, I would like if you could do me a favor and tell me where the alarm module of a 1997 Lexus is located.Thank you very much greetings
PLEASEEE SHOW how to put back on the volume key im begging i cant find a single video and you have the same exact keyboard as me🙏🏼🙏🏼
This helps a lot. I had problem with jammed control key and it gave me terrible time
EXCELLENT macro close-ups! Now I 100% understand the design and function of the key to cradle to board hooks\interfaces. Yea, that other guy using a screw driver from the side is completely wrong! Will break tab on bottom corner of side he's prying on... And installing your way is the CORRECT way also... 2 THUMBS UP!
In case of water spilled over the keyboard how can someone clean it internally?
My Spectre has the same type of keys, and it was really easy to remove and re-install them! I've spent a year working in a computer shop and this type is much easier and safer than other types!
Hello there! My hinge is still attached to the key cap, should I remove it
Be very careful, otherwise you can break it. The hinge is attached to the key cap at the top of the key. You can use a guitar pick to gently lift of the top part of the key cap. Do NOT pull up on the bottom of the key cap. Instead lift up the top part of the key cap and then slide the bottom of the key cap down. Watch the video at 3:30 for an example. Once the top of the key cap is loose, I then "slide" the key cap down and out.
Would be nice if you really show closely how to insert the White piece. Impossible to see from far
To debug a 2015 Golf, I connected a volt meter to the yellow/violet and ran the engine. Voltage starts at 1.6 but the fan doesn't spin. When the engine gets warmer, voltage increases to 4.3 & the fan turns on. If additional cooling is reqd, the voltage increases to 6.3 and the fan spins faster.
Ohh I think I don’t need to clean it 😂😂
Thanks man you're a life saver 😊.
This really helped fixed my problem on my MG7520. Looks like Canon Parts Order Center doesn't have any of the Canon QY6-0083-000 in stock anymore. But the alternate Canon QY6-0083-010 (notice the -010 at the end) can be use.
0.6mm crochet hook makes removing the plastic holder super easy. You can get them for a pound or two at a lot of craft stores.
there is some space left of battery, what is that space for?
is there extra ssd or hdd slot in this laptop?
Thank you for making this video. I replaced the printhead but haven't tried replacing the timing strip. I'll clean it but if that doesn't work I'll take your advice and order one from Canon.
If you replaced the print head and it was not from Canon, I recommend buying a new print head from Canon. When ordering the new print head, you can also order the timing strip for $2 or so. Note: replacing the timing strip involves taking the printer apart. There is another video that shows how to take the printer apart. Be very careful to remove the wires attached to the circuit board BEFORE removing the scanner.
I used an old hotel key cara - didn’t want to go searching for guitar pics around the house! But it worked like a charm. Much better than using a flat tiny screw driver as suggested by another video. Thank you!!
I have a 09 Jetta 2.5 when the fans kick on with or without the AC on both fans go to full speed and are loud.
don’t do it!!! i just destroyed my keyboard ⌨️. i’m going to have to buy a new laptop 💻 😢😢😢
What model do you have? I found an exact replacement (like the orginal) for $60 or less. Search for Okbyte Laptop Keyboard for HP Envy 15-as 15-as000 15-as100 15-as014wm 15-as027cl 15-as043cl 15-as020nr 15-as068nr 15-as152nr 15-as168nr Backlit,Black. On Amazon, this is $42.99 + $4.99 delivery. It is the real thing! Awesome.
@@GaryMarkowski Isn'titconvolutedthough?myspacebarisntworkingneitherismybackspaceornumlocklol
@@GetTechyWithD You could use the onscreen keyboard in the meantime.
You needed to be patient! If your recklessly gonna try and pry it off like your a pro then yeah your gonna break it.
You were the only one that made sense to me thanks sooo much
Appreciate the great vid #SALUTE
Thanks. Just repaired a shift key that was sticky from a coke spill
Thank you for the description, will have to do this job soon. :(
Easier said than done.
Please explain: Is the end of of the hinged piece closest to the user supposed to end up under or over the other half ?
At 6:37 in the video, you can see a side view of the hinged piece. Normally, it lies flat, however I am showing what it looks like when it is not flat. The piece with the shorter end (on the left), would be under the other piece when lying flat. The other end (the higher piece on the right) would be on top when lying flat. If you lie this piece flat, you can install this as you see it here, where the right side of the white piece (as pictured here) would first be installed on the top two metal fingers at the top of where the key goes, and then you gently press the lower portion of the hinge down. Note: the lower portion is the left side of the hinge as pictured here.
GOOD VIDEO,,TNX..THE FAN IS CONTROLS BY A PULSE SIGNAL FROM THE CARS COMPUTER,,,,,,,IF YOU HAVE POWER ON BOTH THICK WIRES MEANS YOU HAVE POWER,,MOST LIKELY ITS THE FAN CONTROL MODULE THAT IS DEFECTIVE,,,BUT CAN ALSO BE THAT IS NOT GETTING SIGNAL FROM COMPUTER,... THICK RED IS POWER THICK BROWN IS NEGATIVE THE THIN WIRES ONES IS COMPUTER CONTROL, THE OTHER IS I BELIEVE AN IGNITION SOURCE,,,,
Thank u
My buddy did this to my car... did your audio, power work after you changed fusible link?
It’s very hard every time I release one tab and I go to the next one the previous one re locks Do you put something on the tab so it won’t relocate on you
So basically I have to remove the outside housing from the fuse box in a complete then start seperating the fusible link assembly
Can you visibly see that the unit is blown from top?...did you blow out your alternator fuse?
My alternator is not charging battery. Battery is good. So i believe its the fusible link block because i was driving for a while and the positive side cover came off and touched metal hood and burnt out my 150 alt fuse im thinking....let me know what you think
Emilio Ochoa ya. I’ll be able to see thats it’s broken
Did the same thing reverse polarity on battery 🔋 and I believe I fried the fuse link on my wife lexus gs350 2009 and I cannot find a CZcams video on how to fix the car 🚘 because it doesn’t even send a signal of no electricity on the dashboard 👎🏽 nor signal of life; o well I am cook by not paying attention 😭
Did you end up fixing?
huge help. Thank you
I subscribed... Because I did the same thing... Ughhh thanks for sharing!
Gary, the fuse box looks almost identical to my Toyota's fuse box. Wait, Lexus is made by Toyota right?
What were the symptoms of your car? Did your car start at all? Did you damaged your audio system and power accessories in the car? Thanks ☺
Dani_el the symptoms are no power at all. No lights no nothing.
